I figured that the logic is that the out at first is akin to a force, whereas missing the other bases is the equivalent of a belated tag play.
I asked the question not because I didn't understand the rule as quoted but because I thought there might be other rules with which I was not familiar.
OK. Bases loaded. Guy on first out on appeal for not touching second. There is some logic to the idea that he has been "forced" (my terminology of course) at second but it doesn't meet the exception requirement(s). I suppose two runs score, even if the BR circles the bases on the play.
